Maternal milk is an excellent source of nourishment for newborns as they get optimal balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fats from maternal milk. It provides a range of benefits for development, immunity, and growth. However, there is a possibility of contamination of maternal milk due to heavy use of pesticides in agriculture. To investigate the presence of any pesticide residues in the maternal milk; we have examined 135 milk samples from 45 mothers in Karachi, Pakistan. Among ten (10) pesticide residues investigated, only cypermethrin, permethrin, malathion, deltamethrin, and match were...

In reptiles Uromastix get preference to study due to have economic importance as its skin used for making fancy articles, its fat used to cure impotence and used as embrocation etc. Among nematode infections Thelandros genus is common in Uromastix. These parasites mainly affect their flesh, skin and fat bodies. Present investigation includes the effect of these parasites on different biochemical parameters of different tissues including glucose, protein, amylase, lipase, alkaline phosphatase and cholinesterase activities and also nucleic acid level of Uromastix for the first time in Pakistan....

This work is concerned with the determination of blood parameters, enzyme levels, blood chemistry and pesticide residues in the blood samples from different divisions of Sindh and from different farm field of rural areas of Sindh in comparison with unexposed persons (control). Total 177 blood samples from 59 persons (exposed to pesticide) were collected, to assay the pesticide residues in their blood and also observed the biochemical and hematological changes in the blood of affected persons. Such work has not been done on this aspect. So this is the first comprehensive work on this aspect....

Adults of Rhyzopertha dominica were treated by filter paper impregnation method with five doses of pesticides of different groups such as cypermethrin, lorsban, Acorus calamus extract, trend and shogun, and LC50 was calculated. Biochemical analysis revealed that after treatment with LC50 of pesticides, cypermethrin inhibited 80% alkaline phosphatase activity, lorsban 44.17%, A. calamus extract 49.87%, trend 25% and shogun inhibited 20% activity as compared to control. Acid phosphatase activity was inhibited upto 42.8%, 11.12%, 14.25%, 28.62% and 33%, respectively. Similarly, cholinesterase...

Neem is the common name given to the different species of large, evergreen, glabrous shady trees, grown in semi-arid regions of the world. In Pakistan and India the common neem tree, also popularly known as Margosa is Azadirachata indica A. Juss. Neem products isolated from the neem tree were nimbinin, nimbin and nimbidin. Siddiqui (1942) was the first scientist to isolate and purify the neem constituents of its extract. In the present study, effects of Cypermethrin and two crude ethanolic neem extract RB-a and RB-b on the activity of enzymes (GOT, GPT, LDH and cholinesterase) against the...
